No problem! Go to Gnome Menu >> System Settings >> Login Screen. Click on the XDMCP tab and check Enable XDMCP. When you click on close it should tell you that you need to restart X. Simply log out and back on. May I ask why you are paying for Exceed. While it's a decent enough piece of software, it dates back from when there weren't any decent free implementations of X for the windows. You should really check out Cygwin. http://www.cygwin.com/ Wednesday, April 21, 2004 6:05 AM dballester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx replied with: > You must disable 'Never permit TCP connections' in the > Security tab. The local firewall will block X protocl, too. Actually, no you don't. I'm not sure just what unchecking that enables (I'm in a hurry this morning and don't have the time to do the relevant research) but I suspect it allows direct TCP access to the running X server. XDMCP uses UDP and brokers the X connections actually spawning a new X server for each remote connection. I leave that checked and run remote desktops all the time. What you really need to pay attention to on the Security tab is whether or not you want root to be able to log into X remotely. (Root could always ssh in and then run startx.)
